Died after 3 years, but...
03/05/2014

Pros: Great customer service, easy RMA process, power supply worked great while it lasted. Corsair stands behind their products. 5 year warranty.

Cons: Died after 3 years, still under 5 year warranty.

Other Thoughts: This power supply was much better than my computer recquired. After 3 years of moderate use, I smelled an ozone/ celery smell one night, and the next morning when I turned on my computer, no power.

The RMA on their website was easy. I received my new powersupply 2 weeks after they received the dead power supply. Its nice to see some companies still stand behind their product. Thanks Corsair.

They do not pay for you to mail the powersupply back to them (cost me $12).

cables aren't as bad as people say
01/15/2014

Pros: It's modular, gold efficiency, cables are ribbon-like, silent mode at <40% load, reasonable price. The power cable you connect into your wall socket is noticeably more beefy than my old 650 watt psu. Its 16 awg instead of 18 awg. The 5 year warranty is nice too!

Cons: cheap feeling 4-pin molex 8981 style connectors

Other Thoughts: I see a lot of reviews about how stiff these cables are and how hard it is to route them around their case...I had no trouble. They are a lot more flexible compared to my corsair tx-650 power supply, and others I have had in the past. I thought the ribbon-style wiring made it rather easy to route the wires around. I also had no trouble attaching the 24 pin and 8 pin connectors to my motherboard. They snapped right in place.

The only issue I did have was: if you are using the old 4 - pin Molex 8981 style cables, they seem super cheap and the wires are loose in the connector. Most people probably won't need to use these, because everything is sata these days, but I needed to use it for the FDD power cable which my sound card uses. Once I connected them, it seemed fine, but they are just really really cheap feeling.
